We read One Day in June 2011 after being tipped off by a few other readers. I was very impressed by the gripping story although it was so "girl next door" kind of a story. We have all been there in terms of being young in London so it was great to relive the ups and down being young, poor and sometimes disillusioned. The way the disaster was described was very powerful in the non-event way it was described. Some hated it but I loved it. So matter of fact without any extra drama added. So totally unpredicted and unexpected. We all agreed that we would have hated the guy, but kind of liked him because Emma did. The characterisations where really well done.
I am sorry, I forgot who attended since it was such a long time ago the meeting was, but we promise to get better on updating the blog. Today we are discussing The book thief over a bowl of lentil soup and red wine.
